Describe how you plan to assess student learning and why you're taking this approach.
So far i have assessed my students by asking them questions about the topics at hand. I do this at the end of the period. I have been asking questions about the topics that I taught them during that class. Then the next class I like to start off with questions about the information from the past classes. In listening to their responses gives me a good idea on what the students understand well and what they are have trouble with. I know that it has only been one week so far but this method seems to be working we so far. As the quarter moves on I will have to move on to more ideas like having them hand in more assignments so I cam read all the students answers so I can get a true feeling on what they are learning.
Describe how you're choosing to grade your students' performance and why.
I am grading them in a few ways first all the grades are done by a point system. Every assignment is given a point amount that the students can earn. The students will have quizzes before we move on to the next topic so I can see what they understand. Every homework is also given a grade. This is more of a five points that it's done or not. They will also be lab reports that will be given point values. At the end of each Unit there will be a test that covers all the material that was given. In my opinion this is the most far way of grading the students. With the point system the difficulty of the assignment is measured by the amount of points it is worth.
